That wikia article seems to be more fanon than canon. I don't like that it seems to claim that Doc Robot was one singular robot and not eight separate ones. And if Doc Robot could use all 8 powers, how come he never used more than one per battle? The idea I got from playing Mega Man 3 was that Doc Robots were essentially eight empty vessels that could be imprinted upon, and were used to channel the digital "souls" of the defeated MM2 robots.

I always thought of them as 8 separate robots too.

Why not use all 8? I dunno, the imprint idea makes sense, or maybe they just wanted to give Mega Man a fighting chance
